“Well, we got better. That’s what this week was about,” Tigers coach Jay Clark said after the meet. “The focus and the main goal was to get a good performance, a complete performance.

“I know everyone wants to talk about the score tonight and that’s great. I do not focus on whether we get a low or high score. It’s about our performance. We did our job tonight and we can do that same performance somewhere else. For us, it’s about keeping our eye on the next step ahead of us and just taking it one step at a time.”

It was also Clark’s 100th win of his career.
